ROSEMARY MEATBALLS



Rosemary Meatballs image

We did side-by-side tastings with meatballs: one included panko and the other, regular breadcrumbs. The ones with panko were much lighter -- and tastier!

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes     Ground Beef Recipes

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ounces ground beef chuck
8 ounces ground pork
1 1/2 cups panko
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary or 1/2 teaspoon dried, plus more for garnish (optional)
1 tablespoon lemon zest, plus 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cups homemade or store-bought tomato sauce

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine beef, pork, panko, egg, garlic, rosemary, lemon zest and juice, 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Mix just until combined (do not overmix). Using a level 1/4-cup measure for each, form mixture into 12 meatballs. Note: Use a 1/4-cup measure per meatball to ensure uniform size. For easy cleanup, place on a sheet of parchment or waxed paper.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet with a lid over medium-high. Add meatballs; cook, turning occasionally, until browned, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Tilt skillet away from you, and pour in tomato sauce. Bring sauce to a boil over medium-high; reduce heat to medium. Cover, and simmer until meatballs are cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve meatballs and sauce, garnished with more rosemary, if desired.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon dijon mustard
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb ground turkey

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will make the cooking process go much smoother.
  • Choose the Right Meat: For the best meatballs, use a combination of ground pork and beef. This will give the meatballs a juicy and flavorful texture.
  • Seasoning is Key: Don't be afraid to season your meatballs well. A good combination of herbs, spices, and salt and pepper will make all the difference.
  • Don't Overmix: Overmixing the meatball mixture will make the meatballs tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Forming the Meatballs: Use a spoon or your hands to form the meatballs. Make sure they are all about the same size so they cook evenly.
  • Brown the Meatballs: Browning the meatballs before simmering them in the sauce will give them a nice crust and help to keep them moist.
  • Use a Good Sauce: The sauce is what really makes these meatballs special. Use a flavorful sauce that you enjoy. A classic tomato sauce or a creamy mushroom sauce are both good options.
  • Simmer, Don't Boil: When simmering the meatballs in the sauce, make sure to keep the heat on low. A gentle simmer will help to cook the meatballs through without overcooking them.
  • Serve Immediately: Pork meatballs are best served immediately after they are cooked. They can be served over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

Pork meatballs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like them smothered in a rich tomato sauce or served with a simple dipping sauce, pork meatballs are sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
